1. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener fly­ing up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn when operating the tool. The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye pro­tection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Insti­tute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC.
1989) and provide both frontal and side protection. The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye pro­tection equipment by the tool operator and all other person- nel in the work area. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI­RONMENTS
As the working condition may include exposure to high noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.

3. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON THE WORK SUR­FACE PROPERLY
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a proper manner can result in a fastener flying up and is extremely dangerous.
4. DO NOT USE ON SCAFFOLDINGS AND LADDERS
Do not use on scaffoldings and ladders with fastener driving tools equipped with contact actuation or continuous contact actuation.
2. SAFETY WARNING
1. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combusti­ble gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
2. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar). The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work be­ing fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the op­erating pressure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar). Never connect the tool to air pressure which potentially ex­ceeds 200 p.s.i. (14 bar) as the tool can burst.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from these substanc­es could be drawn into the compressor and compressed to­gether with the air and this could result in an explosion.
4. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOS­PHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric gases, dust or other combustible materials.
5. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is dis­connected, possibly causing injury.
6. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been completed or sus­pended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.
7. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause acci­dents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and properly installed prior to operating the tool.
8. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DRIVE A FASTENER
Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener into the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the tool with the trigger pulled, and this and similar actions should be avoided.

9. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD YOURSELF AND OTHER PERSONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious ac­cidents may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the dis­charge outlet is not pointed toward people when connecting and disconnecting the hose, loading and unloading the fas­teners or similar operations.
10. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS (SEE PAGE 7)
The use of fasteners other than specified fasteners will cause the tool malfunction. Be sure to use only specified fasteners when operating the tool.
11. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE DIS­CHARGE OUTLET
When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of the tool. It is very dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
12. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO THE EDGE AND CORNER OF THE WORK AND THIN MATERIAL
The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free and hit someone.
13. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF OTHER FAS­TENERS
Driving fasteners on the top of other fasteners may cause deflection fasteners which could cause injury.
14. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER COMPLETING OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the completion of operation, there is the danger of a serious accident occur­ring prior to the resumption of operation, should the tool be handled carelessly, or when connecting the air fitting. For this reason, always remove all fasteners remaining in the magazine after completion of the operation.
15. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT TRIP MECHA­NISM FREQUENTLY IN CASE OF USING A CONTACT TRIP TYPE TOOL
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working correctly as ac­cidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the contact trip mechanism.
16. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR ELEVATED PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fas­tening at the lower part and gradually work your way up. Fastening backward is dangerous as you may lose your foot place. Secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents may be caused due to the hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught.
17. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOP­ERABLE, DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT WOK­ING PROPERLY
18. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain of the tool.
19. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL CONTAINS FAS­TENERS
20. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IMPLEMENT
21. NO HORSEPLAY
22. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTENERS WHEN ANY ONE OF THE OPERATING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG­GER, CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED
23. WEAR THE GLOVES DEPENDING ON THE WORKING CONDITION

4. AIR SUPPLY AND CONNEC­TIONS
Read section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”
DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COM­PRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not oper­ate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an ex­plosion. For this reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE
The tool designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar). The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the operating pressure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar).
DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUB­STANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this could result in an explosion.
DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected, possibly caus­ing injury.

DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been completed or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, dis­assembling, or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.
FITTINGS: Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when discon­nected from the supply source.
HOSES: Hose has a min. ID of 1/4″ (6 mm) and max. length of no more than 17 (5 meters). The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE: Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for the tool.
3-PIECE AIRSET (Air filter, Regulator, Oiler): Refer to TOOL SPECIFICATIONS for setting the correct operat­ing pressure for the tool.
NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool because dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in the tool. Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added thru the air line connection will lubricate the internal parts.
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERA­TION
Read section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
1. BEFORE OPERATION

cording the length of fastener and the hardness of work­piece.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
CONTACT TRIP
The common operating procedure on “Contact Trip” tools is for the operator to contact the work to actuate the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if unintentionally al­lowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger still actuated (finger still holding trigger pulled) an unwanted second fastener will be driven.
CONTACT TRIP Identified by BLACK TRIGGER.
SEQUENTIAL TRIP
The Sequential Trip requires the operator to hold the tool against the work before pulling the trigger. This makes accurate fastener placement easier, for instance on framing, toe nailing and crating applications. The Sequential Trip allows exact fastener location without the possibility of driving a second fastener on recoil, as described under “Contact Trip”. The Sequential Trip Tool has a positive safety advantage be­cause it will not accidentally drive a fastener if the tool is contact­ed against the work-or anything else-while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.

DRIVING FASTENERS
CONTACT FIRE OPERATION (CONTACT TRIP)
For contact fire operation, hold the trigger and depress the con­tact arm against the work surface.
PROCEDURE
1 Hold the trigger. 2 Depress the contact arm.
SINGLE FIRE OPERATION (ANTI-DOUBLE FIRE MECHANISM AND SEQUENTIAL TRIP)
For single fire operation, depress the contact arm against the work surface and pull the trigger. Tool can not fire a second fas­tener until the trigger is released and tool can cycle.
PROCEDURE
1 Depress the contact arm. 2 Pull the trigger.
DRIVING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
ALWAYS disconnect air supply before making
adjustment.
The driving depth adjustment is made by adjusting the contact arm “B”.
1 With air pressure set, drive a few staples into a representa-
tive material sample to determine if adjustment is neces­sary.
2 If adjustment is required, disconnect air supply. 3 Take off hex. bar wrench set in the magazine.
The screw M5×6 is loosened to allow the contact arm “B” to be moved up or down. If the tool is “OVER DRIVING” (the staples is driven below the work surface), the contact arm “B” should be moved down slightly. If staples “STICKING-OUT” (the staples is not flush with the work surface), the contact arm “B” should be moved up slightly. Tighten screw M5×6.

6. MAINTAIN FOR PERFORMANCE
1 ABOUT PRODUCTION YEAR
This product bears production number at the lower part of the grip of the main body. The two digits of the number from left indicates the production year.
2 DO NOT FIRE THE STAPLER WHEN IT IS EMPTY 3 USE A 3-PIECE AIRSET
Failure to use a 3-piece airset allows the moisture and dirt inside compressor to pass into the tool directly. This causes rust and wear, and results in a poor operating performance. The hose length between airset and tool should be no long­er than 5 m since a longer length results in a reduction in air pressure.
4 USE RECOMMENDED OIL
The velocite or turbine oil should be used to lubricate the tool. Upon completion of operations, place 2 or 3 drops of oil into the air plug inlet with the jet oiler. (Recommended Oil : ISO VG32)
5
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN DAILY OR BEFORE OPERA­TION
Disconnect air supply and empty the magazine when inspect­ing or maintaining the tool.
(1) Drain air line filter and compressor (2) Keep lubricator filled in air 3-pieces set (3) Clean filter element of air 3-pieces set (4) Tighten all screws (5) Keep contact arm moving smoothly
7. STORAGE
1 When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of
the lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
2 Do not store the tool in a cold weather environment. Keep
the tool in a warm area.
3 When not in use, the tool should be stored in a warm and
dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
4 All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replace-
ment of parts because of wear from the normal use.
